Hi everyone,
I am planning to change my network layout to something a little more sophisticated.
Unfortunately I'm not sure if it's possible so I would like to hear your opinion.
The reason for the change is that one of my devices (later called Slave) is not capable of establishing a VPN connection.
This is the new network setup (<-> stands for a wired LAN connection):
Internet <-> Simple Router/Rest of Network <-> Computer (Master) <-> Internet Capable Device (Slave)
Master has two network cards. One side is connected to the Router, the other side to the Slave.
Master is currently running macOS. If it's easier with Linux I would install a virtual machine.
In the described scenario Master is supposed to be a bridge between Slave and the rest of the network. That way things like broadcasts can still go through.
But when Slave is connecting to the Internet it's supposed to go through a VPN tunnel.
Neither Slave nor Router are not capable of establishing a VPN connection on its own (thus this stunt).
Is that combination of bridging and tunneling Internet traffic possible?
Or do you have a better idea to fix my issue?
Thank you guys for your help!
Dan
